After the Revolution in '49, all the films were propaganda. They serviced the government and carried the message that the government wants to relay to the people.

I visited Libya in September 1996 for the 27th anniversary of the 'revolution' - a military coup that a 27-year-old Gadhafi led to topple the monarchy and since which he has ruled.
